hey guys. I just got blood drawn today to see if maybe I have a thyroid problem. I think i might because 1. as hard as I try, I can't lose ANY weight, and if I overeat just a little bit I gain like 2 pounds 2. I haven't gotten my period in over a year (people with slow thyroids have irregular periods) and 3. I'm cold ALL of the time. But I don't have brittle hair or nails, my family doesn't have a history of thyroid problems, I don't get headaches, I'm not extremely tired, and I don't have blindspots, and all of those are also symptoms of a slow thyroid problem. Does anyone have a slow thyroid, and if so, what were your symptoms, did they give you medicine, and did it help you lose weight?
